Lin Zhen VS the Pope

At the entrance to the Ancient God City, people watched with bated breath as Lin Zhen and Yan Huang faced off.

Countless people couldn't squeeze through because the entrance was too small, so they watched the live streams taken by those in front of them online.

If we calculate viewership ratings, over 90 percent of the world's population was watching the live broadcast during that time period.

In every Base City, in every corner, in every family, people are staring at their screens.

No matter what he does or what he is doing right now, he can't help but put down what he is doing.

Drivers on the highway pulled over to watch the live stream; there weren't even any other vehicles on Mercedes-Benz road.

The women in the family are cooking, and they put down their spatulas, not even glancing at the burnt food.

Even many sexual activities have stopped; at this point, nobody is in the mood for that kind of thing.

On the streets and alleys, the large screens left over from the God of War Arena have been put back into use, and billions of eyes are fixed on the two people. No one takes the initiative to say anything.

The world fell silent at that moment.

Lin Zhen gripped the shaft of the Seven Kill Spear with both hands, his expression solemn.

Without a doubt, this will be the toughest battle he has ever faced, as he, at the Quasi-Star Realm, will fight against Yan Huang, who is at the Mid Stage Peak.

Lin Zhen can certainly challenge opponents of higher levels, and he has always done so. With his current strength, he is not afraid of even ordinary Star Ranking experts. However, Yan Huang is different.

Yan Huang is definitely a master who can challenge opponents of higher levels!

For example, among the War God, there are ordinary War God and elite War God. Yan Huang is definitely an elite among Star Realm Warrior.

The elite of the elite!

But Lin Zhen still had to fight. The whole world was watching, and he couldn't back down now. No matter the outcome, Lin Zhen was willing to try.

If your Church is the heavens, then I will tear a hole in the heavens!

Yan Huang gently swung the sword in his hand. "Lin Zhen, this sword is from the Holy Light Set. Do you know about the Holy Light Set?"

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "It's just an inanimate object."

"You're wrong. Before you die, I'll tell you this: the Holy Light Set has seven pieces. Besides the sword and shield, the other five are armor. But in battle, I only ever use this sword. Do you know why?"

"Because you're a pig."

A flash of anger crossed Yan Huang's eyes. "Don't push your luck. It's because no one is worthy of me using a shield, let alone wearing armor. Lin Zhen, you're no exception. My sword alone is enough to take your life!"

"You can't do it. You have to take out your shield." Lin Zhen shook his head slightly.

Yan Huang gave a disdainful sneer, said nothing more, and lightly drew his Long Sword, assuming a starting stance.

Lin Zhen gripped his Seven Killings Spear tightly with both hands, knowing that Yan Huang was about to make his move.

In the sky above the first level, a Pterosaur flew over the heads of two people. It spotted the two prey on the ground, let out a strange cry, and swooped down from the sky.

That strange cry was like the starting gun at the starting line.

"Gah!"

The next moment, the two of them moved at the same time!

Yan Huang charged forward, his body leaving a trail of afterimages. The wind howled around him, and the power of light burst forth. He covered a distance of tens of meters in a fraction of a second, and the Long Sword in his hand brought a dazzling white light as it hurtled towards him!

Lin Zhen took a slight step back, lowered his waist and mounted his horse, and waved the Seven Kill Spear left and right, instantly creating layers of light screens in front of him!

Defend and counter-attack, Immovable as a Mountain!

"Lin Zhen! Prepare to die!"

Yan Huang's sword fell, and the power of light burst forth from his body, like a red sun hanging in the sky, with the sword Light-Electric shooting down!

Lin Zhen had used his Radiance Power to dazzle people on several occasions, but it was clear that Yan Huang's Radiance Power was far more formidable!

This person has already resonated with the Radiance Atoms!

Lin Zhen closed his eyes slightly. He was Diamond-level Mind Power Master with powerful Mental Power, and he could perceive everything around him without using his eyes.

"Haka!"

With a deafening roar, a burst of light shot into the sky above the plain, followed by a series of rapid clashes!

Yan Huang swung his sword, and Lin Zhen parried with his Long Spear. Neither Lin Zhen nor Yan Huang retreated. Swords are short weapons, more suitable for close-quarters combat. He wanted to entangle Lin Zhen to death at close range.

Quick Sword!

Yan Huang was demonstrating to Lin Zhen what lightning-fast swordsmanship meant. His sword was like a venomous snake, no, like thousands of venomous snakes, stabbing from all sorts of unbelievable angles, each strike aimed at the spot Lin Zhen desperately needed to save.

Layer upon layer of light barriers were broken through, and beams of sword light were intercepted. Lin Zhen was completely absorbed in his work and no longer had any distractions. With his keen Mental Power, he blocked Yan Huang's attacks thousands of times in three seconds!

"Lin Zhen, although your defense is good, I'm going to teach you a lesson today: offense is the best defense. Your fighting skills won't save you!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Several swords flashed by, aiming for Lin Zhen's face, throat, chest, and abdomen.

Lin Zhen brandished his Long Spear, swiftly parrying the attack.

When the sword pierced his lower abdomen, Lin Zhen suddenly had a strange feeling: the opponent's sword momentum had slowed down.

Lin Zhen also slowed down slightly in response to the counter-attack, but Yan Huang suddenly accelerated!

"Puff!"

With a single sword strike, blood splattered!

"Yan Huang can actually change the speed of his sword strikes even in such a fierce battle!"

Lin Zhen's pupils dilated for a moment. The Top-Grade Star Artifact Skirt Armor below her waist could not withstand Yan Huang's Sacred Artifact Long Sword, and she was injured in the lower abdomen.

"Hahaha! Lin Zhen, die!"

Yan Huang struck successfully, then suddenly changed his tactics. Each sword strike was like a venomous snake swallowing its tongue, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, making it impossible for Lin Zhen to defend against.

In the ensuing battle, Yan Huang demonstrated his advantage. This strange swordsmanship made Lin Zhen very uncomfortable, and several wounds quickly appeared on his body.

Fortunately, the Sacred Artifact Armor protected him, preventing his vital points from being easily injured.

However, Lin Zhen was never the type to passively take a beating. Although his immovable Immovable as a Mountain defense was strong, it was not very effective against Yan Huang's strange swordsmanship, so he simply changed his fighting style.

As the opponent's Quick Sword attacked again, Lin Zhen simply abandoned defense, unleashing a Gale Spear Brilliance with his Long Spear. At the same time, six Seven Stars Knife rose into the air, and elemental energy instantly filled the entire area, launching a powerful counterattack against Yan Huang.

In a minute-long battle, Lin Zhen, with his superb Spear Art and six Flying Knife, managed to fight Yan Huang to a standstill. Although he appeared to be at a disadvantage, his fighting spirit remained high.

Yan Huang appeared to be exchanging blows with Lin Zhen with ease, but the shock he felt inside was immense.

Lin Zhen's speed, strength, Spear Art, and powerful Mental Power all gave him a huge shock. With his Mid Stage Peak Realm cultivation, he couldn't even defeat Lin Zhen, who was only at the Quasi-Star Realm, in a minute of fighting. In fact, he had already lost.

Many people outside were cheering that Yan Huang was going to win, but in the eyes of those experts, Lin Zhen's performance had actually surpassed his.

Those six Flying Knife were incredibly annoying. He had to spare some attention to defend against each one, and the powerful elemental energy contained within Flying Knife was not something to be ignored. This prevented him from fully committing to the attack.

"Should I take out my shield?"

Yan Huang immediately rejected the idea. He had just said that a sword would be enough to deal with Lin Zhen, so why would he take out a shield now? That would be a slap in the face. Absolutely not.

"It seems we have no choice but to take some measures."

Yan Huang knew he couldn't afford to waste any more time; he had to demonstrate his strength and eliminate Lin Zhen as quickly as possible.

He pushed the power of the Radiance Atoms on his body to the limit, and the Sword Rain of radiant swords in the sky instantly subsided, transforming into a stream of light. The thousands of swords became one sword, and he charged out as one with the sword, breaking through Lin Zhen's Gale Spear Brilliance. The six Flying Knife were all deflected by this impact and headed straight for Lin Zhen's chest!

Lin Zhen felt a Yan Huang his spine. Yan Huang, who had already grasped the power of atoms, was someone he could not match, but he could not admit defeat so easily.

Such Long Spear would be a burden in close combat. Lin Zhen covered the Long Spear with a Energy Ball, exerted force with one arm, and suddenly shot the Long Spear out!

The Long Spear shone brightly with Light-Electric, and combined with Lin Zhen's monstrous strength, this attack made Yan Huang dare not take it head-on!

His body twisted in the air, dodging Lin Zhen's Long Spear, but he also lost his momentum.

Lin Zhen's Long Spear struck a huge tree hundreds of meters away, Long Spear three feet into the tree and leaving a section of the spear shaft.

"Lin Zhen, how can you fight me without your Long Spear? Die!"

Seeing that Lin Zhen was unarmed, Yan Huang once again brandished his Long Sword and approached Lin Zhen, making several feints and real strikes, trying to inflict more wounds on Lin Zhen.

But to his surprise, Lin Zhen met his first attack head-on!

"Puff!"

Lin Zhen suffered another huge wound on his shoulder, but he instantly appeared beside Yan Huang, reaching out his arms to hug him Yan Huang!

Yan Huang tried to break free, but Lin Zhen, using the steps of Plum Blossom Stakes, actually moved behind Yan Huang, passing her arms under his armpits and holding him tightly!

"Court death!"

Seeing six Flying Knife coming towards him, Yan Huang used his Mental Power to control his sword. The Sacred Artifact Long Sword deflected several of Lin Zhen's Flying Knife. Just as he was about to attack Lin Zhen from behind with his Flying Sword, Lin Zhen suddenly activated the speed of his Lightning Wings to the maximum and hugged Yan Huang as he crashed forward!

The Lightning Wings, traveling at four times the speed of sound, propelled the two of them into high-speed flight. Yan Huang's pupils dilated instantly, because several hundred meters ahead was Lin Zhen's Seven Kill Spear!

The Seven Kill Spear was stuck in the tree trunk, with a long, sharp point at the end. Lin Zhen actually hugged it and crashed into it!

"Idiot! Do you want to die with me? We'll both be shot dead!"

"My life Lin Zhen, is worthless; it would be worth it to die together with you, the Pope!"

The distance of several hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye. The tip of the spear flashed coldly, and everyone around was stunned. They thought that the Pope could easily crush Lin Zhen, but how did he end up in a desperate situation where he had to take Lin Zhen down with him?
